- N8087SNkristina0 contributionsKristinThis was really a nice trip, with easy and secure booking and information on beforehand. Good english speakers both in booking and st the boat. 2 hours were perfect and we had time to swim and enjoy the sea and old town from ocean view. Truly recomended.Written 3 October 2024
- lorrainesU3034PK0 contributionsAmazing street food and wine tourHighly recommend this tour , our guide Sebastian was knowledgeable and funny , the food and wine was amazing, it was everything we wanted and moreWritten 2 October 2024
- christieStevo0 contributionsNot a thrill ride near the summit of Mt EtnaA basic quad bike experience mostly on the road. The quad bike companies cannot go any closer to the summit of the volcano than the bottom of the cable cars. The experience takes you away from the volcano, into a forest which was still nice, followed by a visit to a cave and an old home. This is a good tour for first-time quad bike riders looking for a relaxing ride through the forest of Mt Etna. This is not a thrill, close-up, off-road experience along the volcanic rock of Mt Etna.Written 28 September 2024
- 039electra0 contributionsWonderful history tour in beautiful Syracuse and OrtigiaA wonderful overview of both the Syracuse Archaeological Park and some key Ortigia landmarks. This was a private tour for just my partner and I; and our guide, Luca was full of interesting facts, energy and personality. Would highly recommend it for those on limited time, or alternatively if you want to do some exploring on your own, as well as a tour.Written 27 September 2024
- Karen K0 contributionsExcellent way to see these 3 towns when we don't have enough time.The driver was excellent and told us where to go and the sights to see. Had a great bunch of people on the trip. Stopped to get Modica chocolate and saw a beautiful church right by the chocolate shop. Ragusa was good and we had time to do the little train around Ragusa. Noto was the last stop and we just wandered with gelato. A great day.Written 27 September 2024
- TammyP8470 contributionsFavorite part of our tripFavorite part of our trip. The captain let us swim in many different parts. One we saw fish another Roman columns buried under the sea. We went to see caves and ate delicious food overlooking an island and sunset. Our stop in town was quick I think because we had so much fun swimming in many spots. Ride home at night was beautiful with all the lights. Thank you for a wonderful trip.Written 27 September 2024
- Kim L0 contributionsNot worth the moneyDon't waste your money on this "tour." It was really a drop you off van ride to each city. I didn't expect a guide, however, it would have been nice to have some information or recommendations on where to go, what to see, or been given a map with highlights before being dumped off for an hour and a half in each city. Find something else to spend your money on. We just finished up a Mt Etna and winery tour that was less money and hands down above and beyond expectations.Written 26 September 2024
- EnglishinUS0 contributionsMontalbano CountryWe were safely driven in the minivan by a charming young driver. The towns have beautiful baroque architecture and you have enough time to explore on your own. Ragusa was very special. The high viewpoint to see the church and city of Modica was amazing though we only really had time for lunch there. Noto was interesting but the rain limited our visit a little. The itinerary and timings works well - take your own guidebook to make the most of your time. Good value as it’s not easy to get there by public transport. Would recommend 👍Written 25 September 2024
- gastroner0 contributionsGreat tour allowing visits to Ragusa, Modica and Noto from Siracuse.We loved visiting the 3 towns included in this tour. They were beautiful. The drive thru the country was very enjoyable as well. The amount of time allowed in each location was perfect. The driver was a very careful driver and was always right where he was supposed to meet us . We were however a bit surprised that 2 couples were placed in quite a small car for a trip of 8 hours , when the description said minivan tour. Luckily, we were average sized people, the women actually on the petite side. We had to get into the back seat 1 at a time, buckle seat belt and then the next person etc. A larger vehicle would have been much more comfortable. We were able to take a train tour in Modica and learned a lot of history about that town. Our driver surprised us at the end of the tour with delicious cookies for nice treat.Written 24 September 2024
- tinar6090 contributionsBeautiful coast, wonderful trip.What a wonderful trip out around the gorgeous coast of Ortigia. Plenty of time to swim. With floats and lifebelts available anyone can get in the water to enjoy. All followed up with a lovely lunch, freshly cooked on board. Definitely recommend it.Written 11 September 2024
- halynat8820 contributionsInteresting experienceThe tour was interesting and Francesca our driver was fine, although he did not speak English, so we could not ask him any questions about where we were going. He just dropped us off in each of the cities ( these really are not villages except maybe for the old part of Ragusa)) and told us when he would pick us up. We did not get any maps detailing where we would be; maps would have been very helpful! This was the most economical tour, which is why we took it. It took us out of Ortigia and we saw something of the interior, which would not have happened otherwise. One word of caution: we were there first week of September and the heat was unbearable! So much so that it took much of the fun out of the visit - it was just not possible to climb all those hundreds of steps, to explore these places. It wasn’t just us - most people, especially in Modica and Noto (Ragusa was more manageable) stayed at the lower levels of these two towns, rather than try to climb hundreds of steps on their own. If you have time (do it as soon as you get there) in Modica especially, take the little “train” that will take you around, all the way to the top.Written 5 September 2024
- Alexandra H0 contributions10/10We had the best time on our trip with Natale! He was sweet and hospitable, making sure we had plenty of time to relax and swim. Probably one of my favorite parts of our trip. While it’s a tad more expensive than group boat trips, I would say it’s well worth it. Between the space, the lack of having to jockey for seats, and the freedom to work with your skipper on timing of swimming and relaxing, the private tour surpassed our expectations. 10/10 experience!Written 27 August 2024

The guided tour to the Etna was amazing from the beginning to the end. The Etna landscape is just breathtaking. Iolanda from Sicily in Travel was a great help to find the right tour for our needs and plan everything. We were even able to customise the tour with an additional cable car and snow cat tour to the top. Our tour guide Veronica was extremely nice, knowledgeable and passionate about the Etna and spoke English fluently. The price was really fair despite it being a private tour. Highly recommended.
